"Music in theory and practice"
Anyone whom I look up too. Ryan Calvert, Nick Page, Leif Rowberg, Mick and Sean Radford, All the people of Caparison guitars, Diezel amps, Tim Paulsen of Earcandy Cabs (totally amazing person) and Doc Pittillo (owner/mastermind) Pittillo custom guitars. My mother for always being there for me when the darkest times of my life were put on my shoulders. My friend Barry Webberley for teaching me everything I know about physical labor and the importance of the working class. I have many people in my life who I consider hero's and roll models.
